The Lender shall make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loans made available to the Lender by the ASOT Administrative Agent pursuant to the ASOT Credit Agreement, in like funds as received by the Lender.

2.6 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.7 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) The Lender shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower, a register (the “Register”) in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Lender hereunder from the Borrower.

(d) The entries made in the Register shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to maintain the Register, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.9 Commitment Fees, etc. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, in an amount and at such times as agreed between the Borrower and the Lender.

2.10 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment. The Borrower may not terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment or, from time to time, reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment without the prior written consent of the ASOT Required Lenders and the Lender (other than in connection with the refinancing, repayment or termination in full of the ASOT Credit Agreement and the commitments and loans thereunder); provided that no such

termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Any such reduction shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect.

2.11 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Lender which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided that, if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.

2.12 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.13 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Lender at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Lender at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Lender has determined in its sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the Lender, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, provided that, no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Lender has determined in its sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall continue as Eurodollar Loans, with a one month Interest Period.

2.14 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.15 Interest Rates and Interest Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that, interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall the interest rate payable by the Borrower hereunder for any Type of Loan on any date of determination exceed the effective rate of interest paid by the Lender pursuant to the ASOT Credit Agreement for such Type of Loan.

2.16 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Lender shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate made pursuant to the ASOT Credit Agreement. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Lender shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate made pursuant to the ASOT Credit Agreement.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the ASOT Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of the ASOT Credit Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lender in the absence of manifest error. The Lender shall, at the request of the

Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the ASOT Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).

2.17 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the ASOT Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Lender) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the ASOT Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the ASOT Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the ASOT Credit Agreement) that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such ASOT Majority Facility Lenders (as conclusively certified by such ASOT Majority Facility Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected loans under the ASOT Credit Agreement during such Interest Period,

the ASOT Administrative Agent shall give telecopy, email or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lender as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the ASOT Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

2.18 Payments.

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(d) The application of any payment of Loans (including prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof to the Lender, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other

than payments on the Eurodollar Loans)becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

2.19 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the rate of tax on the net income of the Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender, by an amount which the Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If the Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under to a level below that which the Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by the Lender to the Borrower of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.19 submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be prima facie evidence in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.20 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Lender (i) as a result of a present or former connection between the Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (ii) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under which the Lender is organized or in which its principal office is located or in which its lending office is located, and (iii) as a branch profits tax imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to the Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to the Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 2.20, (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Lender on the Closing Date or (iii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Lender at the time the Lender changes its lending office other than at the request of the Borrower, except to the extent that the Lender was entitled, at the time of the change in its lending office, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a).

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower (or, if an official receipt is not available, such other evidence of payment as shall be satisfactory to the Lender) showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Lender the required receipts or other required documentary

evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) The Lender shall, with respect to any payments that the Lender directs to be paid to a non-U.S. address or non-U.S. bank account, deliver to the Borrower a duly completed original signed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto that the Lender is entitled to provide at such time in order to comply with United States backup withholding requirements. Such forms shall be delivered by the Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, the Lender designates a new lending office. In addition, the Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by the Lender. The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that the Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that the Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of the Lender.

2.21 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lender for, and to hold the Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Lender in consultation with the ASOT Administrative Agent) that would have accrued to the Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this

Section 2.21 submitted to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans, and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.22 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of the Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) the Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21.

2.23 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.24 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.25 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.26 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.27 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, the Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of the Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against the Borrower, except that the Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable the Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against the Borrower only to the extent of the Borrower’s interest in the Collateral given to the Lender, and the Lender, by accepting this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against the Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 2.27 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of the Lender to name the Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loans or any of the rights and remedies of the Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of the Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) constitute a prohibition against the Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against the Borrower in order to fully realize on any security given by the Borrower in connection with the Loans or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for the Lender to exercise its remedies against such security; or (f) constitute a waiver of the right of the Lender to enforce the liability

and obligation of the Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by the Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by the Borrower in connection with the Loans;

(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Borrower;

(iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Collateral after an Event of Default;

(v) the misapplication or conversion by the Borrower of (a) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to any portion of the Collateral, (b) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Collateral and (c) any rents, rent equivalents, moneys payable as damages or in lieu of rent or rent equivalents, royalties (including, without limitation, all oil and gas or other mineral royalties and bonuses), income, receivables, receipts, revenues, deposits (including, without limitation, security, utility and other deposits), accounts, cash, issues, profits, charges for services rendered, and other consideration of whatever form or nature received by or paid to or for the account of or benefit of the Borrower or its agents or employees from any and all sources arising from or attributable to the Collateral, and proceeds, if any, from business interruption or other loss of income insurance;

(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Collateral;

(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or other deposits collected with respect to the Collateral which are not delivered to the Lender upon a foreclosure of any portion of the Collateral or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any lease, sublease or subsublease, letting, license, concession or other agreement (whether written or oral and whether now or hereafter in effect) pursuant to which any Person is granted a possessory interest in, or right to use or occupy all or any portion of any space in the Property, and every modification, amendment or other agreement relating to such lease, sublease, subsublease, or other agreement entered into in connection with such lease, sublease, subsublease, or other agreement and every guarantee of the performance and observance of the covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed and observed by the other party thereto prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; or

(viii) the breach by the Borrower of the Borrower’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.5.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which the Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that the Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to the Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Obligations shall be fully recourse to the Borrower in the event that: (i) the Borrower fails to obtain the Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Collateral; (ii) the Borrower fails to obtain the Lender’s prior consent to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance, direct or indirect, of the Collateral or any interest therein or the Borrower or any interest in the Borrower, as required by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or this Agreement; (iii) the Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iv) an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, the Borrower files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against the Borrower from any Person; (v) the Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (vi) any Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls the Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for the Borrower or any portion of the Collateral; or (vii) the Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its Obligations as they become due.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the ASOT Credit Agreement, the Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other ASOT Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a) of the ASOT Credit Agreement, agrees to cause the Issuing Lender to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the ASOT Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Lender and the Issuing Lender; provided that, the Lender shall not have any obligation to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment would be less than zero, (iii) the ASOT L/C Obligations would exceed the ASOT L/C Commitment or (iv) the aggregate amount of the ASOT Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the

Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) The Lender shall not at any time be obligated to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Lender, the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Lender cause an Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Lender and such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified in the ASOT Credit Agreement an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Lender and the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Lender and such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Lender will notify the ASOT Administrative Agent of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit, and upon receipt of confirmation from the ASOT Administrative Agent that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the ASOT Available Revolving Commitments would not be less than zero, the Lender will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith to be processed by the Issuing Bank in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly cause the Letter of Credit requested thereby to be issued by causing the original of such Letter of Credit to be issued to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Lender, Issuing Bank and the Borrower. The Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Lender shall promptly give notice to the ASOT Administrative Agent as set forth in the ASOT Credit Agreement of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the face amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the ASOT Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance.

3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay to the Lender a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for its account (other than any such Letters of Credit that have been fully cash collateralized pursuant to terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to the Eurodollar Loans and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by, the Issuing Lender for the Borrower’s account at a rate per annum agreed upon between the Lender and the Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Lender and the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued for the Borrower’s account.

3.4 [Intentionally Omitted].

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender, on each date on which the Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Lender or the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to the Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.15(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(c).

3.6 [Intentionally Omitted].

3.7 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Lender, any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Lender that the Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, provided that, such document or endorsement appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Lender or an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Lender or such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.8 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the ASOT Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by the

Issuing Lender, shall be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.9 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to cause the Issuing Lender to issue the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that:

4.1 [Intentionally Omitted].

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Group Members (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Group Member has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Group Member has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19, and (iii) consents or authorizations, to the extent that the failure to obtain such consents, authorizations, filings and notices (or the failure to keep the same in full force and effect) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with

its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member except, solely with respect to a violation of a Contractual Obligation of any Group Member, to the extent such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and such Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any Group Member could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 No Material Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed to the Lender, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the actual knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. None of the Group Members is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Group Members has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other Property, and none of such Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9 Intellectual Property. Each of the Group Members owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. To the knowledge of any Group Member, no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Group Member know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the knowledge of any Group Member, the use of Intellectual Property by the Group Members does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.

4.10 Taxes. Each of the Group Members has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority that are due and payable, and, except as otherwise disclosed to the Lender in writing, no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is

being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge (other than any, in each case, the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the applicable Group Member, as the case may be).

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by the Lender, the Borrower will furnish to the Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Group Members have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the applicable Group Member.

4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

4.15 Subsidiaries. (a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Borrower at the date hereof. Schedule 4.15 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by each Group Member and whether such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(b) There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of any Group Member.

4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit, shall be used (i) to finance the working capital needs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation, the ongoing development and construction costs related to the real property purchased by the Development Subsidiary-A pursuant to the Development Asset Acquisition and any additional real property acquired by the Borrower and its subsidiaries hereafter and (ii) for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Loans may not be used to pay any Administration Fees during any Cure Period.

4.17 Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) Each of the Group Members: (i) is, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation has been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) holds all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for any of its current or intended operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise operated by it; (iii) is, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation has been, in compliance with all of its Environmental Permits; and (iv) to the extent within the control of such Group Member: each of its Environmental Permits will be timely renewed and complied with; any additional Environmental Permits that may be required of it will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense; and compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become applicable to it will be timely attained and maintained, without material expense.

(b) Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any Group Member, or at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which Materials of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Group Members under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in costs to the Group Members, (ii) interfere with the continued operations of the Group Members or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any Real Property owned or leased by any Group Member.

(c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to

which any Group Member is, or to the knowledge of any Group Member will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of any Group Member, threatened.

(d) None of the Group Members has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.

(e) None of the Group Members has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law.

(f) None of the Group Members has assumed or retained, by contract, conduct or operation of law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern.

4.18 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Lender, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lender that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lender for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

4.19 Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Lender, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when any stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Lender, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19 (which Uniform Commercial Code financing statements have been duly completed and delivered to the Lender) and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement have been completed (all of which filings have been duly completed), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and

interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

(b) Schedule 1.1B lists, as of the Closing Date, each parcel of owned real property and each leasehold interest in real property located in the United States and held by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
